Hello there! Hope some of you are still here waiting for this long overdue blog post. I thought I'd break myself in gently with a short post with instructions for one of the cards I made for Barbara's show from the NEC using a couple of the peacock feather stamps designed by Linda Williams.

FRAMEWORK SQUARES STENCIL 7" X 7" STE-PA-00424-77

Black Sharpie pen
Mask off 3 squares of the framework stencil

Dust with talc, then stamp the feathers with versamark and emboss with detail gold powder

Edge with a black Sharpie pen and mount onto a card blank to finish
And there you have it. Things don't always have to be complicated. I will try harder to get back into the habit of blogging more regularly. Till next time. Love xxx
